... was Mt Vesuvius, where our very skilled bus driver navigated some very windy and narrow roads up the mountain. Once we parked near the top, we had to hike to the peak, which took about 20 minutes and made me realise just how unfit I am. It had really nice views from the top and we could look into the volcano pit. No lava to be seen but there was some smoke coming from the ground in the side.

They run up to you, get in your face, and are basically relentless (the homeless beggers were the same way).
